_free_ fonts

Hi list,

I'm getting a little frustrated with fonts. Almost all of the authors (of nice fonts) either don't want you to use them for commercial purposes, want you to email the them _before_ you use it to get permission, want you to pay, or simply you don't know what the hell the author wants.

So, my question is is there some fonts that I could get that are for _free_, meaning you don't have to pay anything, but also you can do what the heck you wish with it as well. Am I just dreaming or what?

Thanks alot, -Gezim

http://www.1001freefonts.com/ is one of the places to find freeware/shareware fonts. Most of them don't come with any licence/readme/whatever.

If they don't come with any license, copyright law applies.

But does this mean I can use them at will for whatever use I want? Just because they don't have a readme file?

I love fonts. There are plenty of 'postcardware' type fonts where you have to send a simple postcard or something to the author. If you like a font enough, I don't see a problem doing that.

Though here's the only site I've found where all are definately free for commercial use. Otherwise, I think you just have to search through the licenses.
